Summer Fun in Japan

The kids are out of school and so today was the first day of summer for us. And what a beautiful day it was! Clear skies and temps in the high 70s so we had to go to the beach. Our favorite beach is the Miss Veedol Beach. There is a bit of history, as it was the launch site of the first trans-pacific flight (who knows where it landed...anyone...anyone...Wenatchee, Washington, that's right). They have a look out tower (where Truman and Tenny are ((and mom holding on to Tenny for dear life))) on top of the old runway and a full size model of the plane that made the flight, the Miss Veedol

As every time at the beach, you start just getting your feet wet...

...or trying not to get them wet...


...so the solution is obvious


Tenny didn't want to get his cloths wet...

...so he just took them off


The obligatory sand burying











Dinner afterward at Lake Ogawara about 10 miles from the beach.


The rest of the lake



About 30 secs after Rose stopped this video, Tenny got knocked over by a huge wave and had the saddest/most shocked/angriest face. I guess we just need to roll the camera all the time.
